My main work is as an orthopaedic surgeon, and I am currently training in hospitals around the South West.
However, I also play music at a professional level. I am lucky enough to know some very talented musicians and together we have developed sets appropriate for your party, wedding or festival.
The groups I am in include:
- Viv and the Xmen - this popular cover band has been playing in and around Taunton for more than 3 years now and has honed the most crowd-pleasing set of pop and rock songs you are ever likely to see! They have their own facebook page and website: www.myspace.com/vivandthexmen.
- Early Grace - Matt Atasoy leads this young and exciting five piece band which plays originals and some of the less obvious covers, with broadly an Indie style, with a squeeze of funk and also a great line in beautiful ballads which showcase Matt's writing and remarkable voice. I play bass and it is my talented co-members who are really the ones to watch. In a recent development, Matt and James Eady have joined me at Jazz at the Winchester and delivered astonishingly good acoustic versions of their songs.
- I also play solo now and then, in hotels for my agent, Trevor George Entertainment. I also collaborate with other local and national musicians, and post photos or tracks on my facebook page or reverbnation page.
